NOTABLE

• Arkansas most recently beat South Carolina 72-68 at Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday. Ole Miss most recently lost 90-71 to Florida on Saturday in Gainesville, Fla.

• Adou Thiero leads Arkansas in scoring with 15.6 points per game but is expected to miss Thursday's game with a hyperextended left knee. He missed each of the previous four games.

• With Thiero unavailable, Nelly Davis leads Arkansas in scoring with 11.1 points per game.

• Sean Pedulla leads Ole Miss in scoring with 15.1 points per game. He scored 16 points in the first game against Arkansas. 

• Both the Rebels and Razorbacks are likely to be in the NCAA Tournament. Arkansas likely secured its place with its win over South Carolina on Wednesday and Ole Miss has long been considered a lock.

• The Razorbacks are rated No. 40 by KenPom. The Rebels are No. 27.

• Ole Miss did not play Wednesday because it earned a first-round bye in the NCAA Tournament.

• Arkansas will be without starting point guard Boogie Fland for the 15th straight game. Fland had successful surgery on his right thumb and was reported by CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein to be out for the rest of the season. The Razorbacks said he is out indefinitely. Arkansas is 9-5 in 14 games without Fland. He last played when the Razorbacks lost at Missouri on Jan. 18.
